George - you are so right and there is a big difference in flavor as well. But I do wonder what exactly that sawdust is in the jar! Just curious.

I am a huge Pecorino Romano fan which I use in place of Parmesan. And I love to grate it myself - I never buy any shredded cheese in the store - I do it myself.
